Spoken: Hercules, California, population minus one, me

G
Well, there's times you wish you never was born
Em
Small change can move pretty fast
Am
Tucson in rattlin' Ford
C
Graffiti on the underpass
Am
But Portland's under water again
C
Swallowed by the ocean at last
G
We should go to Hercules
Em
Head towards Stockton for gas
Am
Instead of waitin' for the weather report
C
To come down here and kick your ass
Am
Tucson in rattlin' Ford 
C
Graffiti on the underpass

G                              D
Drop your anchor where you stand
                                Am
And I'll be a nun at your command
                C
Ghost of Elvis, Uncle Sam and old Miss Susan
G                                  D
So drop your guard connect your dots
                                        Am
Your ghost and bones are all tied in knots
                               C               G
For all you want is all you're not and evolution

Shoulda met you at the Burger King (?)
Kept in stitches just for a laugh
So picture me a little absurd
Motion for the other half
I'd like to take a thousand of these words
And trade em for a photograph
We should go Hercules
Head towards Stockton for gas 
Instead of waitin' for the weather report
To come down here and kick your ass
Portland's under water again
Swallowed by the ocean at last

Drop your anchor where you stand
I'll be a nun at your command
Ghost of Elvis, Uncle Sam and old Miss Susan
So drop your guard connect your dots
Your ghost and bones are all tied in knots
For all you want is all you're not and evolution
